Here's one that will bake your noodle.... Todays thought, a friend of mine who has been in church all his life ask this question, "How hard is Salvation" ??? This is still a question many struggle with.... I'm sure we could get many different answers to this question, the religious pharisees back when Jesus walked the streets of Jerusalem had an answer to that question and so they do today as well. Let us go down the rabbit hole a little deeper. I was not raised in Church, never heard the name Jesus until I was twenty four years old. Verbal and physical beatings growing up, i ran away at the age of thirteen, moved in with drug dealers. Jesus found me in a drug infested mess when I was 24 years old. Reading the bible was hard for me, I started out with reading just the red letters, found out later that the red letters was Jesus talking. Religious people would make me think that there was no way that I'd ever be able to measure up. Yes, at first Salvation seemed hard to me. Until one day I discovered the voice of the Holy Spirit. Salvation is a faith choice.... So simple we make it hard. The making salvation hard is a suggested trick of the enemy. Only a substantial suggestion. I used to struggle with this one greatly, thinking there is no way someone as bad as me could ever be saved. ... Then I heard these words in my heart, this has been over thirty years ago, some would say it was just me but I believe it was the voice of Holy Spirit, I heard, "Salvation is as simple as the two thieves on the Cross story" "One thief did not believe that Jesus was who he said he was, The One.... One thief did believe Jesus was who he said he was." The One.... Jesus didn't tell the thief who believed to get down from the Cross, go to church for 30 years, learn to memorize and qoute every scripture and then come back and see me, No, Jesus told him, "This day you will be with me in paradise." We the people complicate Salvation, yet salvation is extremely simple. God sent his only One Son Jesus that ALL could be saved, God meant for everyone to be saved. God wanted it to be simple, the only thing is, God made "Free Will" just as simple. Yes, since we are not on a Cross, God does expect us to grow as his little children, but it never changes the fact that we first simply believe Jesus is who he says he is, The One. Jesus has come to make us one's just like him. If we get out of line, the good Father in heaven, Our Father, he knows how to line us back up, just like we try to do our own children. Just because our children get out of line, don't mean they are no longer our children, remember the story of the Prodigal Son? Speaking of the prodigal Son, Jesus said that he will never leave us or forsake us, yet we can, with our Free Will walk away from him. This is why we have the story of Jesus leaving the ninty nine to go after the one, Jesus didn't leave the one, the one left him. But even when we do walk out of his hand, because we first believed, he will always leave the ninty nine to come find us, The One. Have you walked away before? I have, thank God he came and rescued me, again and again. Lucifer/Satan was once ONE of Gods most choice Angel's, yet Lucifer in his own free will made the choice that he didn't want to come back, he didn't want God to rescue him and sadly, some humans make that same choice. But just like the simplicity of the two thieves on the Cross story, it's a simple choice. God never makes it hard, we do. Don't think you are, know you are, one of the One's. The Matrix films is an insight to how the real spiritual and human world work.... ruclips.net/video/9v2I3Y1wgUk/видео.html Matrix 4 u... ruclips.net/video/PkhXLgu-mYM/видео.html This is how you become One and step into the real Matrix.... ruclips.net/video/MJ4R1JUyR-0/видео.html ..........,,,,,,.......
This expresses that you believe the true way to heaven !! : Lord Jesus, I have admitted I'm a sinner being sorry. Therefore, I do not trust in my own works to go to heaven because I realize, being a sinner, I cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that you require to pay for sin. Instead, I fully trust, believing in my heart, that your finished work on the cross, your one perfect blood sacrifice; when you bled, suffered and died, in my place, paid for my sins in full, past, present and future ! And I believe that you rose from the dead and that you are God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore !!! And I fully trust that you have forgiven me by cleansing me from all sin in your precious blood, which purified my soul. Thank you Lord Jesus for greatly loving me, for forgiving me, saving me from hell and giving me eternal life and sealing me with the Holy Spirit dwelling within me forever! Rom.3:25,5:8,9,10:9, Rev.1:5, Ephes.1:7,13, 4:30, Heb.10:10-14,19,38,39,I John 5:7,13,20
Your are saved by grace through faith it's a gift of God not of works lest any man should boast , believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved , simple its a free gift of God , cannot be earned .
Please pray for my soul. I put my faith in Jesus but I never felt anything. I'm not sure if deep down believe. There was no sign or anything like that. I also have hellish demonic nightmares sometimes.
you must repent and turn from sin . And confess you’re a sinner in need of saving . And confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and God raised him from the dead 3 days later . And ask for forgiveness and build a relationship with him , by reading the Bible and worship etc .
SALVATION: To clarify the gospel of our salvation: Our gospel that saves us today is to believe Jesus died, shedding His blood, was buried and rose from the dead for the forgiveness of our sins. I Cor 15:1-4. That's step one. Step two: We must put our trust in this gospel for the forgiveness of our sins and nothing else, to be saved. It's that simple. Paul puts it this way: Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, We are not saved by repenting (turning from sin), being baptized, walking an aisle, saying a prayer, confessing with your mouth, or following Jesus. Those are all "works" salvation. We are saved by grace not works (Rom 11:6), through faith alone, in Christ work on the cross. It is a gift 100%. Eph 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-6, I Cor 15:1-4 Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He came to save sinners, not people trying to make themselves righteous by doing some kind of good work or turning from their sins, they can't that do anyway. Simply believe and put your trust in the gospel Paul gave us from Jesus. Then start reading Rom - Phil to understand what was written to us the body of Christ, so we could know what God wants from us and who we are in Christ, once we are saved. For in the book Paul wrote is the only place we find the gospel that saves us today. Then read the rest of your bible that is for us but not to and about us. 94% of the bible is to and about Israel. Don’t steal their mail and try to make it yours. Check out this 7 minute video, please. ruclips.net/video/dlc1Orv6lE4/видео.html
I have addictions, a hard hearr, doubt and unbelief but i have asked Jesus into my life. I'm very worried about my salvation and walk with the Lord. Pls help me someone? I don't want to be this hypocrite or fake Christian. I'm so depressed because of this. Thank You

While I like what your video is about I have had too many encounters with phony so called Christians or people claiming to be Christians and wouldn't have known they were Christians by their actions, attitudes or lifestyles had they not said something! I believe this is a case of many tares among the few wheat but only Jesus knows the difference! I believe it was James who said "show me your faith without actions and I'll show you my faith by my actions"! I also believe it was Jesus who said "even the demons believe and tremble"! Yet many have stated that faith alone is enough but if I don't see any fruit how can I tell if your confession is genuine or just another lost person who has failed to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling as well? I believe that Messiah Yeshua came in the flesh and died for my sins and rose again into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of His Father and makes intercession on our behalf. May His love fill your heart Mark.
Michael Tennyson thanks for sharing brother, I agree, faith without works is dead. That's why I love Ephesians 2:8-10, grace, faith, and good works are all covered and discussed there. Thanks for sharing and God bless
Michael Tennyson You're right: by their fruits you shall know them. But also remember: many are called, few are chosen. I prefer to keep my focus on my Christian journey through life & not worry about how others are being or doing. I've come to realize that some things & even people are the way they are (good or bad) to fulfill some part of God's plan. And only time will reveal it...
L. Patrick, Thank you for sharing your point of view, yet I prefer to share the truth with everyone I meet through personal experience and/or media outlets and try to avoid the easy road of even an appearance of self love. Is it easy? By no means! But we are instructed to pull out even those spotted by the flesh and/or in the flames, if possible, that they might be saved!
Michael Tennyson Yes, Michael, as long as you do it from a place of love i.e., do unto others... And remember, YOU might be the only Bible someone gets to read...so how are you being & doing (speck vs log in the eye the Lord talks about in the Gospel)? Stay blessed!
L.Patrick, True love covers a multitude of sins but I struggle with being that understanding or patience with those who persist in their willful ignorance. Then there are the dogs and swine which we were warned about and not throwing pearls of wisdom at them because they won't listen or receive it, and will instead attack you even when not involved with what you might be speaking on, with regards to scriptures and/or matters of the heart and soul in relations to God. This is why I believe God told the Israelite's to smite whole people groups because they were willfully rebellious and may have even hated God and His people. Anyone and everyone who hates God is my enemy, whether man or beast or even spirit, because to me God is Holy and deserving of ALL HONOR and Glory and Obedience by those who claim to love Him. So if someone attacks my daddy they have attacked me! And besides all that, I am still a work in progress!
I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, I believe that He died on the Cross because He paid the price for us. I believe that resurrected from the dead On the third day. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. What can I do?
Dont forget to tell people to repent. You cannot be saved unless you repent of sins and live a holy life. But i understand what you are saying l. When is Bethany coming on your show btw?
ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger it would be nice if she could talk about how she knew you were the one, how you met, or her testimony to Christ and how she serves God by being a wife and a mother and/or her career as well and suggestions she would have for single women in general! Thanks!!
The bible (kjv) never says to turn from sins and live a holy life to be saved. Preachers have fabricated this. This is works salvation, Nicole. Repent means to change your mind. Over 100 scriptures tell us to simply believe in Christ as our Saviour. If you say that one must depart from sin, you say that Christ work is not sufficient and that one must keep the law as sin is transgression of the law. This is a common false doctrine...
ssvwine nope. That is easy believism. To say you dont turn from sin means someone loves their sin and makes an excuse. Any Christian who willfully performs sin will not enter heaven. Be holy as I am holy. If you love me obey my commandments. Thats all in scripture in the Bible. Thats very dangerous to believe you dont have to repent from sin and just believe. Even demons believe in Jesus and tremble. Whoever taught you this is very, very wrong. This is not my opinion or interpretation this is biblical. Please if you are in willful sin stop sinning and repent.
People from church are trying to convince me that by Christs blood we get in contact with him, but we need baptism to get into contact with His blood. How do I respond to that?
Good message, bad bible version. God's grace is NEVER cheap. It's is abundant and free to us in this dispensation. That is why it's called grace. Our works will never show we are saved. If you think that you are relying on works salvation. Grace is so free and so abounding that even while we were yet sinners Christ died for the ungodly. That's everyone. When you say works prove our salvation you then will say someone is not saved b/c they are not doing the works you think they should be doing. Wrong, wrong , wrong. We are made righteous by what Christ did not by what we do after we are saved. 2Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Rom 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Don't underestimate God's grace and don't overestimate your works
This is strange 🤔 I put a comment on here last night but today it’s totally gone. 🤷🏽♀️I even changed it to show most recent comments first but it only shows ones from 2 months ago. I guess what I said must have been true and so it was erased. I will state again: Anything written from Romans through the rest of the Bible to Revelation were letters written by different apostles to those already saved. What confuses people is the chapters and verses which were added later for an easier time of finding a specific passage of scripture. Since these are letters they should be written as such starting from verse one of chapter one. BUT if you aren’t saved you won’t be able to understand it and will think it means one thing when it means something else. Take Romans 10:9 Paul was telling the saints that Christ died and rose again for the mistakes they made after being born again as well and all they needed to do was to confess and repent (repent means to turn from and never do it again). That’s why Paul told the disciples of John the Baptist this in Acts 19:1-6, “ And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, he said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.” Christ Jesus said in John 3:5-7, Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” He also said in Mark 16:16-17, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;״ This being born again of the water and the Spirit as Adonai Yehoshua HaMeshiach or The Lord Jesus Christ (Yehoshua HaMeshiach is His original Hebrew Name; English wasn’t invented until the 1300s), commanded in John and Mark. This is salvation. I pray that you come to know Him in the pardoning of your sins.
Acts chapter 2:38 this is salvation according to scripture we must repent be baptized in Jesus name and be feel with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues this is the proof that one is born by water and spirit. The church was birth in Acts. The gospel is the good news that’s why we talk about the death burial and resurrection.
The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people at his coming! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
@End Times The question "what must I do to be saved" was asked to Paul by the Phillipian jailer in Acts 16:30. Acts 16:31 states "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and you're household".
If you are a Catholic you need to be saved by the correct gospel: SALVATION: To clarify the gospel of our salvation: Our gospel that saves us today is to believe Jesus died, shedding His blood, was buried and rose from the dead for the forgiveness of our sins. I Cor 15:1-4. That's step one. Step two: We must put our trust in this gospel for the forgiveness of our sins and nothing else, to be saved. It's that simple. Paul puts it this way: Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, We are not saved by repenting (turning from sin), being baptized, walking an aisle, saying a prayer, confessing with your mouth, or following Jesus. Those are all "works" salvation. We are saved by grace not works (Rom 11:6), through faith alone, in Christ work on the cross. It is a gift 100%. Eph 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-6, I Cor 15:1-4 Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

@Raf No problem. People do call Catholics Christians I think because they also believe that Jesus is God. But there way off in how we get saved and their understanding of the bible is mostly wrong. Do you know you are saved, your sins are forgiven and your are going to Heaven? If so, how do you know? What is it we need to believe or do to get to heaven?
@Raf To be saved from the penalty of your sins you must have faith that Jesus died, was buried and rose from the dead to forgive you your sins. Jesus shed His blood on the cross. God requires blood to be shed to have sins forgiven. In the Old days Israel would offer animal sacrifices (shedding blood) to get their sins forgiven. We do not need to do that. We just need to believe Jesus shedding His blood and faith in that alone will save us from our sins and bring us to Heaven. Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ask questions if you don't understand. Keep in mind the Bible (King James Bible) is our final authority on all things about God/Jesus.
The term "easy believism" is a man made term. We should listen to God, not to false teachers. So have you turned from ALL your sin? Do you really believe you fully understand the depth of the sin in you? Oh its much more than fornication or drunkenness or any of the other "pet sins" preachers use. But how about spiritual pride, or hypocracy? There's a lot more to sin than meets the eye. When Jesus spoke to the pharasees: "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." -John 8:24 He didnt focus on the turning from sins. He focused on the believing in Him. They ALL had sin, Nicole. How about the thief on the cross. Did he ask Jesus to forgive him of his sins or did he come down off the cross and live a holy life before he went to heaven? NOPE. He said: "Lord, remember me".... He believed! And God accounted it for righteousness. The faith of Abraham. The philippian jailor when he asked Paul in acts what he must do to be saved, did Paul tell him " to turn from his sins and live a holy life?" Nope. He said: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved and your house". How about when Phillip was sharing the gospel with the ethiopian eunich. Did he tell him to turn from all his sin? Nope. He said "if you believe with all your heart". And i could go on and on and on, but false preachers like John MacArthur and Ray comfort and many many others have sadly seduced many into a false gospel that adds works to salvation. "Let God be true and every man a liar". There is only one way. Grace Alone through faith alone in Christ alone. If your trusting in your repentence and holy living to save you, or that plus Christ, your on your way to hell. You can take that to the bank. Matthew 7:22-23 King James Version (KJV) 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Their trust was in themselves, not Him. Christ said on the cross. "It is finished"!! It's done! Now enter into that rest, Nicole. Believe on Christ and his atonement alone for the salvation of your soul. "Easy believism" doesnt condone sin. It's the vehicle whereby we receive the One who gives us victory over it. He won the victory at Calvary! Concider how Paul describes the gospel as "simple". "I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." 2nd Corinthians 11:13
ssvwine I have stopped all willful sin yes. I fo not willfully sin. I mess up accidentally a sin but repent and try again. For example, I may get angry easily with someone or be inpatient. I didnt willfully sin but thats where I repent and have the Lords grace. But willful sin would be if I got drunk, fornicated, lied deliberately, stole. Does this make sense? I see many Christians still living in sin and not reprnting or turning away. This is why Jesus called these Christians "lukewarm". I agree we are saved through grace, Christs death, and having faith but faith without works is dead. Works meaning not living the lifestyle you once had before you became a believer. This is what I have been explaining. Thats all I will say. Be blessed and if a preacher tells you yes you are saved through grace dont worry about watching porn that is a false teacher. Its about being ye transformed by the renewing of our minds!
Do you believe a homosexual who continues in his/her sin until they die will go to heaven? This is the question I have and based on the answer I will know your main doctrine.
Yes. If they truely believed, i think they would go to heaven. Jesus said harlots and tax collectors would enter the kingdom of God before the Pharasees (because they believed) Interesting you pick that one sin and not Pride which got satan kicked out of heaven. And how many christians are guilty of pride. Many. Especially ones who compare themselves with others (the bible sais not to do) and become glorified fruit inspectors. This is nothing more than spiritual pride which ranks #1 on the list of "7 things the Lord hates". Do i condone homosexuality or tell people to abuse the grace of God? Certainly not! And frankly preachers dont spend enough time preaching on sin. But you confuse salvation and sanctification. In the church of corinth many were guilty of practicing the works of the flesh which you pointed out and God removed them from this earth. They were saved believers. Gods word does not say they died in their sins. God simply took them home early. See, sin ruins a person in this life and keeps us from fellowship with God. But it's unbelief that will send you to hell. It's Gods work to convict and transform us. "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." Jesus said without me you can do nothing. Also on another not: you quote James as most Lordship salvationist do. "Faith without works is dead." I struggled with this too for a while as the bible appears to contradict itself.....but it doesnt. That's why we need to rightly divide the word of truth. Meaning u can wrongly divide it. But is James talking to believers or unbelievers? Answer: Believers. "Brethren". He's calling believers to active faith. I think to understand James you need to read: 2 Peter 1:5-9 King James Version (KJV) 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be BARREN nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. We need the real truth. Not doctrines and traditions of men which only serve to enslave men instead of bringing them to the revelation of Gods grace. -GRACE AND PEACE
Nicole you are either saved (you once simply trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished cross work for salvation) and confused or lost and on your way to hell because you rely on Christ plus yourself. Galatians 2:21 King James Version (KJV) 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. I would exhort you to repent (change your mind) and believe the simple gospel.
You have a great way of exposing things thank you
We are saved by Grace,Not of our works. Wonderful Msg. Amen. God bless you Mark. Always pray for me 😇😇

here is another perspective about this topic ruclips.net/video/Xwz547BRo1c/видео.html
Here's one that will bake your noodle....
Todays thought, a friend of mine who has been in church all his life ask this question,
"How hard is Salvation" ???
This is still a question many
struggle with....
I'm sure we could get many different answers to this question, the religious pharisees back when Jesus walked the streets of Jerusalem had an answer to that question and so they do today as well.
Let us go down the rabbit hole a little deeper.
I was not raised in Church, never heard the name Jesus until I was twenty four years old.
Verbal and physical beatings growing up, i ran away at the age of thirteen, moved in with drug dealers.
Jesus found me in a drug infested mess when I was 24 years old.
Reading the bible was hard for me, I started out with reading just the red letters, found out later that the red letters was Jesus talking.
Religious people would make me think that there was no way that I'd ever be able to measure up.
Yes, at first Salvation seemed hard to me.
Until one day I discovered the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Salvation is a faith choice.... So simple we make it hard.
The making salvation hard is a suggested trick of the enemy. Only a substantial suggestion.
I used to struggle with this one greatly, thinking there is no way someone as bad as me could ever be saved. ...
Then I heard these words in my heart, this has been over thirty years ago, some would say it was just me but I believe it was the voice of Holy Spirit, I heard,
"Salvation is as simple as the two thieves on the Cross story"
"One thief did not believe that Jesus was who he said he was, The One....
One thief did believe Jesus was who he said he was." The One....
Jesus didn't tell the thief who believed to get down from the Cross, go to church for 30 years, learn to memorize and qoute every scripture and then come back and see me, No, Jesus told him,
"This day you will be with me in paradise."
We the people complicate Salvation, yet salvation is extremely simple.
God sent his only One Son Jesus that ALL could be saved, God meant for everyone to be saved.
God wanted it to be simple, the only thing is, God made "Free Will" just as simple.
Yes, since we are not on a Cross, God does expect us to grow as his little children, but it never changes the fact that we first simply believe Jesus is who he says he is, The One.
Jesus has come to make us one's just like him.
If we get out of line, the good Father in heaven, Our Father, he knows how to line us back up, just like we try to do our own children.
Just because our children get out of line, don't mean they are no longer our children, remember the story of the Prodigal Son?
Speaking of the prodigal Son, Jesus said that he will never leave us or forsake us, yet we can, with our Free Will walk away from him.
This is why we have the story of Jesus leaving the ninty nine to go after the one, Jesus didn't leave the one, the one left him.
But even when we do walk out of his hand, because we first believed, he will always leave the ninty nine to come find us, The One.
Have you walked away before? I have, thank God he came and rescued me, again and again.
Lucifer/Satan was once ONE of Gods most choice Angel's, yet Lucifer in his own free will made the choice that he didn't want to come back, he didn't want God to rescue him and sadly, some humans make that same choice.
But just like the simplicity of the two thieves on the Cross story, it's a simple choice.
God never makes it hard, we do.
Don't think you are, know you are, one of the One's.

Instead, I fully trust, believing in my heart, that your finished work on the cross, your one perfect blood sacrifice; when you bled, suffered and died, in my place, paid for my sins in full, past, present and future ! And I believe that you rose from the dead and that you are God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore !!!

Please pray for my soul. I put my faith in Jesus but I never felt anything. I'm not sure if deep down believe. There was no sign or anything like that. I also have hellish demonic nightmares sometimes.
Do you have conviction for sinning. I would pray to the Lord to give yourself to him completely
you must repent and turn from sin . And confess you’re a sinner in need of saving . And confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and God raised him from the dead 3 days later . And ask for forgiveness and build a relationship with him , by reading the Bible and worship etc .
SALVATION:
To clarify the gospel of our salvation: Our gospel that saves us today is to believe Jesus died, shedding His blood, was buried and rose from the dead for the forgiveness of our sins. I Cor 15:1-4. That's step one. Step two: We must put our trust in this gospel for the forgiveness of our sins and nothing else, to be saved. It's that simple. Paul puts it this way:
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
We are not saved by repenting (turning from sin), being baptized, walking an aisle, saying a prayer, confessing with your mouth, or following Jesus. Those are all "works" salvation. We are saved by grace not works (Rom 11:6), through faith alone, in Christ work on the cross. It is a gift 100%. Eph 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-6, I Cor 15:1-4 Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He came to save sinners, not people trying to make themselves righteous by doing some kind of good work or turning from their sins, they can't that do anyway.
Simply believe and put your trust in the gospel Paul gave us from Jesus. Then start reading Rom - Phil to understand what was written to us the body of Christ, so we could know what God wants from us and who we are in Christ, once we are saved. For in the book Paul wrote is the only place we find the gospel that saves us today. Then read the rest of your bible that is for us but not to and about us. 94% of the bible is to and about Israel. Don’t steal their mail and try to make it yours.

About what
While I like what your video is about I have had too many encounters with phony so called Christians or people claiming to be Christians and wouldn't have known they were Christians by their actions, attitudes or lifestyles had they not said something! I believe this is a case of many tares among the few wheat but only Jesus knows the difference! I believe it was James who said "show me your faith without actions and I'll show you my faith by my actions"! I also believe it was Jesus who said "even the demons believe and tremble"! Yet many have stated that faith alone is enough but if I don't see any fruit how can I tell if your confession is genuine or just another lost person who has failed to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling as well? I believe that Messiah Yeshua came in the flesh and died for my sins and rose again into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of His Father and makes intercession on our behalf. May His love fill your heart Mark.
Michael Tennyson thanks for sharing brother, I agree, faith without works is dead. That's why I love Ephesians 2:8-10, grace, faith, and good works are all covered and discussed there. Thanks for sharing and God bless
Michael Tennyson You're right: by their fruits you shall know them. But also remember: many are called, few are chosen.
I prefer to keep my focus on my Christian journey through life & not worry about how others are being or doing. I've come to realize that some things & even people are the way they are (good or bad) to fulfill some part of God's plan. And only time will reveal it...
L. Patrick, Thank you for sharing your point of view, yet I prefer to share the truth with everyone I meet through personal experience and/or media outlets and try to avoid the easy road of even an appearance of self love. Is it easy? By no means! But we are instructed to pull out even those spotted by the flesh and/or in the flames, if possible, that they might be saved!
Michael Tennyson Yes, Michael, as long as you do it from a place of love i.e., do unto others...
And remember, YOU might be the only Bible someone gets to read...so how are you being & doing (speck vs log in the eye the Lord talks about in the Gospel)?
Stay blessed!
L.Patrick, True love covers a multitude of sins but I struggle with being that understanding or patience with those who persist in their willful ignorance. Then there are the dogs and swine which we were warned about and not throwing pearls of wisdom at them because they won't listen or receive it, and will instead attack you even when not involved with what you might be speaking on, with regards to scriptures and/or matters of the heart and soul in relations to God. This is why I believe God told the Israelite's to smite whole people groups because they were willfully rebellious and may have even hated God and His people. Anyone and everyone who hates God is my enemy, whether man or beast or even spirit, because to me God is Holy and deserving of ALL HONOR and Glory and Obedience by those who claim to love Him. So if someone attacks my daddy they have attacked me! And besides all that, I am still a work in progress!
I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, I believe that He died on the Cross because He paid the price for us. I believe that resurrected from the dead On the third day.
I believe that Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
What can I do?
Dont forget to tell people to repent. You cannot be saved unless you repent of sins and live a holy life. But i understand what you are saying l. When is Bethany coming on your show btw?
Nicole Lewis I need to get her in soon. Any suggestions on what topic you would like her perspective about?
ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger it would be nice if she could talk about how she knew you were the one, how you met, or her testimony to Christ and how she serves God by being a wife and a mother and/or her career as well and suggestions she would have for single women in general! Thanks!!
Nicole Lewis great suggestions, thanks, this is helpful :)
The bible (kjv) never says to turn from sins and live a holy life to be saved. Preachers have fabricated this. This is works salvation, Nicole. Repent means to change your mind. Over 100 scriptures tell us to simply believe in Christ as our Saviour.
If you say that one must depart from sin, you say that Christ work is not sufficient and that one must keep the law as sin is transgression of the law.
This is a common false doctrine...
ssvwine nope. That is easy believism. To say you dont turn from sin means someone loves their sin and makes an excuse. Any Christian who willfully performs sin will not enter heaven. Be holy as I am holy. If you love me obey my commandments. Thats all in scripture in the Bible. Thats very dangerous to believe you dont have to repent from sin and just believe. Even demons believe in Jesus and tremble. Whoever taught you this is very, very wrong. This is not my opinion or interpretation this is biblical. Please if you are in willful sin stop sinning and repent.
is there a bible that eazy to read
I have found the New International Version (NIV) Bible easy for me to read. 😊
People from church are trying to convince me that by Christs blood we get in contact with him, but we need baptism to get into contact with His blood. How do I respond to that?
Ask them to show you in your KJ bible. It's not true.
"Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such os the kingdom of heaven."
Can a child turn from all sin? Or is sin just what you define?...
here is another perspective about this topic... ruclips.net/video/Xwz547BRo1c/видео.html
Good message, bad bible version. God's grace is NEVER cheap. It's is abundant and free to us in this dispensation. That is why it's called grace. Our works will never show we are saved. If you think that you are relying on works salvation. Grace is so free and so abounding that even while we were yet sinners Christ died for the ungodly. That's everyone. When you say works prove our salvation you then will say someone is not saved b/c they are not doing the works you think they should be doing. Wrong, wrong , wrong. We are made righteous by what Christ did not by what we do after we are saved.
2Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
Rom 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Don't underestimate God's grace and don't overestimate your works
This is strange 🤔 I put a comment on here last night but today it’s totally gone. 🤷🏽♀️I even changed it to show most recent comments first but it only shows ones from 2 months ago. I guess what I said must have been true and so it was erased. I will state again:
Anything written from Romans through the rest of the Bible to Revelation were letters written by different apostles to those already saved. What confuses people is the chapters and verses which were added later for an easier time of finding a specific passage of scripture.
Since these are letters they should be written as such starting from verse one of chapter one. BUT if you aren’t saved you won’t be able to understand it and will think it means one thing when it means something else. Take Romans 10:9 Paul was telling the saints that Christ died and rose again for the mistakes they made after being born again as well and all they needed to do was to confess and repent (repent means to turn from and never do it again).
That’s why Paul told the disciples of John the Baptist this in Acts 19:1-6,
“ And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, he said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?
And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized?
And they said, Unto John’s baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.”
Christ Jesus said in John 3:5-7,
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”
He also said in Mark 16:16-17,
“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;״
This being born again of the water and the Spirit as Adonai Yehoshua HaMeshiach or The Lord Jesus Christ (Yehoshua HaMeshiach is His original Hebrew Name; English wasn’t invented until the 1300s), commanded in John and Mark.
This is salvation. I pray that you come to know Him in the pardoning of your sins.
Acts chapter 2:38 this is salvation according to scripture we must repent be baptized in Jesus name and be feel with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues this is the proof that one is born by water and spirit. The church was birth in Acts. The gospel is the good news that’s why we talk about the death burial and resurrection.
How do I know if I’m saved?

@Raf You are kidding right? They are not even close. Study what Catholics believe and then read your bible, not even close.
If you are a Catholic you need to be saved by the correct gospel:

@Raf Sorry for what?
@Raf No problem. People do call Catholics Christians I think because they also believe that Jesus is God. But there way off in how we get saved and their understanding of the bible is mostly wrong.
Do you know you are saved, your sins are forgiven and your are going to Heaven? If so, how do you know? What is it we need to believe or do to get to heaven?
@Raf To be saved from the penalty of your sins you must have faith that Jesus died, was buried and rose from the dead to forgive you your sins. Jesus shed His blood on the cross. God requires blood to be shed to have sins forgiven. In the Old days Israel would offer animal sacrifices (shedding blood) to get their sins forgiven. We do not need to do that. We just need to believe Jesus shedding His blood and faith in that alone will save us from our sins and bring us to Heaven.
Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ask questions if you don't understand. Keep in mind the Bible (King James Bible) is our final authority on all things about God/Jesus.
The term "easy believism" is a man made term. We should listen to God, not to false teachers.
So have you turned from ALL your sin? Do you really believe you fully understand the depth of the sin in you? Oh its much more than fornication or drunkenness or any of the other "pet sins" preachers use. But how about spiritual pride, or hypocracy? There's a lot more to sin than meets the eye.
When Jesus spoke to the pharasees:
"I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." -John 8:24
He didnt focus on the turning from sins. He focused on the believing in Him. They ALL had sin, Nicole.
How about the thief on the cross. Did he ask Jesus to forgive him of his sins or did he come down off the cross and live a holy life before he went to heaven? NOPE.
He said: "Lord, remember me"....
He believed! And God accounted it for righteousness. The faith of Abraham.
The philippian jailor when he asked Paul in acts what he must do to be saved, did Paul tell him " to turn from his sins and live a holy life?" Nope. He said: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved and your house".
How about when Phillip was sharing the gospel with the ethiopian eunich. Did he tell him to turn from all his sin? Nope. He said "if you believe with all your heart".
And i could go on and on and on, but false preachers like John MacArthur and Ray comfort and many many others have sadly seduced many into a false gospel that adds works to salvation. "Let God be true and every man a liar". There is only one way. Grace Alone through faith alone in Christ alone. If your trusting in your repentence and holy living to save you, or that plus Christ, your on your way to hell. You can take that to the bank.
Matthew 7:22-23 King James Version (KJV)
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Their trust was in themselves, not Him.
Christ said on the cross. "It is finished"!! It's done!
Now enter into that rest, Nicole. Believe on Christ and his atonement alone for the salvation of your soul.
"Easy believism" doesnt condone sin. It's the vehicle whereby we receive the One who gives us victory over it. He won the victory at Calvary!
Concider how Paul describes the gospel as "simple".
"I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."
2nd Corinthians 11:13
ssvwine I have stopped all willful sin yes. I fo not willfully sin. I mess up accidentally a sin but repent and try again. For example, I may get angry easily with someone or be inpatient. I didnt willfully sin but thats where I repent and have the Lords grace. But willful sin would be if I got drunk, fornicated, lied deliberately, stole. Does this make sense? I see many Christians still living in sin and not reprnting or turning away. This is why Jesus called these Christians "lukewarm". I agree we are saved through grace, Christs death, and having faith but faith without works is dead. Works meaning not living the lifestyle you once had before you became a believer. This is what I have been explaining. Thats all I will say. Be blessed and if a preacher tells you yes you are saved through grace dont worry about watching porn that is a false teacher. Its about being ye transformed by the renewing of our minds!
Do you believe a homosexual who continues in his/her sin until they die will go to heaven? This is the question I have and based on the answer I will know your main doctrine.
Yes. If they truely believed, i think they would go to heaven. Jesus said harlots and tax collectors would enter the kingdom of God before the Pharasees (because they believed)
Interesting you pick that one sin and not Pride which got satan kicked out of heaven.
And how many christians are guilty of pride. Many. Especially ones who compare themselves with others (the bible sais not to do) and become glorified fruit inspectors. This is nothing more than spiritual pride which ranks #1 on the list of "7 things the Lord hates".
Do i condone homosexuality or tell people to abuse the grace of God? Certainly not! And frankly preachers dont spend enough time preaching on sin.
But you confuse salvation and sanctification. In the church of corinth many were guilty of practicing the works of the flesh which you pointed out and God removed them from this earth. They were saved believers. Gods word does not say they died in their sins. God simply took them home early.
See, sin ruins a person in this life and keeps us from fellowship with God. But it's unbelief that will send you to hell.
It's Gods work to convict and transform us.
"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Jesus said without me you can do nothing.
Also on another not: you quote James as most Lordship salvationist do. "Faith without works is dead."
I struggled with this too for a while as the bible appears to contradict itself.....but it doesnt.
That's why we need to rightly divide the word of truth. Meaning u can wrongly divide it.
But is James talking to believers or unbelievers? Answer: Believers. "Brethren". He's calling believers to active faith. I think to understand James you need to read:
2 Peter 1:5-9 King James Version (KJV)
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be BARREN nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We need the real truth. Not doctrines and traditions of men which only serve to enslave men instead of bringing them to the revelation of Gods grace.
-GRACE AND PEACE
Nicole you are either saved (you once simply trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished cross work for salvation) and confused or lost and on your way to hell because you rely on Christ plus yourself.
Galatians 2:21 King James Version (KJV)
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
I would exhort you to repent (change your mind) and believe the simple gospel.
